Winter: Bakugo X Oc

Chapter 18

"Hey, sports fans. Are ya ready?" Present Mic asked the crowd. The crowd cheered loudly.

"After all the action you've seen, it's time for the real battles to begin! Can't ya feel the excitement!? Our competitors are on their own now!" Mic announced, "Sometimes, heroes have only themselves to rely on!"

"Heart. Skill. Strength. Wisdom. Courage. They'll have to use all of these things to rise to the top!" Mic announced.

The class all sat down at this section in the stands. Except for Midoriya because he's going first.

"Water?" A familiar voice asked from behind me. I turned around... it was...

"Ma-chan!" I smiled at my blue haired friend. She set the waters down and opened her arms.

I ran over to her. I practically jumped into her arms during the hug. I didn't get to see her this morning because my dad made us come to school super early.

"Hi, Izu-chan!" She engulfed me in a giant hug. I giggled.

"Izumi, who is this?" Mina asked, walking over to us. I pulled away from the hug.

"This is my neighbor and best friend, Maho Bushida." Maho bowed after I introduced her.

"I'm Mina Ashido." Mina bowed, introducing herself. I smiled at that.

"I'm excited for your match!" Maho said. I nodded. I wasn't really excited, I was still tired. I wanted to take another nap.

"Hey, Todoroki!" I waved to the candy cane haired boy as he walked into the section. He waved back. Maho and him glanced at each other. Did they know each other?

"What was that?" I asked, whispering to her.

"I'll tell you later." She whispered back. I nodded. She walked away, and I sat down. Bakugo and Denki sat in front of me, and Kirishima and Mina sat beside me.

"All right, audience! Let's cut to the good stuff and not delay these finals any longer." Mic said, "Welcome our first fighters."

The screen shows a picture of a haired guy and a scared looking Midoriya next to each other. "Whoa, he looks kinda scared in that picture, doesn't he?" Mic pointed out.

"It's Izuku Midoriya from the hero course versus... Hitoshi Shinso from general studies, who really hasn't done anything to stand out yet." Mic announced.

"The rules are simple. Immobilize your opponent or force them outta the ring." Mic explained, "You can also win by getting the other person to cry uncle! Bring on the injuries cause we've got our own Recovery Girl waiting on standby!" Where was she earlier? Todoroki had to carry me all the way to her office.

"So put your morals aside and don't be afraid to play dirty! But of course, no life-threatening crap, folks. It's not allowed. Real heroes use their power to throw villains in jail, not kill them." Mic said.

I zoned out after that. I had a giant headache. My mind kept wandering back to what happened in the cavalry battle. I'm such an idiot for letting that happen. What did I do?

Also, what's up with those looks  Maho and Todoroki were giving each other? What the hell did I miss? Why am I so out of it?

"Izumi, are you seeing this?" Mina turned toward me, "Izumi?"

Sweat fell down my forehead, pulling me out of my spiral of thoughts. "Hm?"

"Are you alright?" She asked, looking at me concerned.

"Huh? I'm alright." I smiled at her and looked back at the match going on. Midoriya was staring at his hand, shocked. What did I miss?

Shinso tried to get Midoriya to talk. Midoriya charged at Shinso. Shinso punched him as he pushed him out. Shinso was about to push Midoriya out when he flipped Shinso over him. Damn.

"Shinso is out of bounds!" Midnight announced, "Midoriya advances to the next match!" The crowd cheered.

"And with that, we have our first victor. Class 1A's Izuku Midoriya!" Mic announced. Everyone cheered, and I yawned.

The next round was Todoroki vs. Sero. As soon as the match started, Sero used his quirk to try and wrap up Todoroki. He tried to sling Todoroki out of bounds, but Todoroki used his quirk to stop Sero. Todoroki sent ice at Sero and not only froze him in place but half of the arena. It got up to the stands and over the side of the building.

"Holy shit..." I mumbled, rubbing hands over my arms. It was so cold. Smoke came from Bakugo's hands as he used his quirk to warm himself up. Lucky.

"Tell the truth, Sero." Midnight shivered, "Can you move at all?"

"Are you kidding? Obviously not. My body is freezing." Sero shivered.

"Sero had been immobilized!" Midnight announced, "Todoroki advances to the second round!"

"Nice try!" The crowd shouted. Todoroki melted the ice around sero.

"Sorry... I went overboard... I was just mad..." I heard him mumble. Why was he so upset?

The third battle finally started after a while of melting the glacier Todoroki created.

Shiozaki vs. Denki. This is going to be very interesting. Mic hyped both of them up. Where is this angelic light and music coming from? Anyways...

Denki used his quirk and sent electricity at her. Why did he use so much? Dumbass. Shiozaki turned around and used he'd vines to block out his quirk. She then wrapped him up in her vines, winning the round. He underestimated her by a lot.

I overheard Midoriya mumbling about Denki's quirk. He really does analyze everything thoroughly. He wrote down notes in his notebook. Wow, he was so passionate.

The next round was Ida vs. Hatsume. The fourth match wasn't really a match. It was honestly like a commercial. Wow... that's kinda embarrassing. She's kinda funny. Ten minutes later, she was finally done with her presentation and stepped out of bounds. She smiled happily. Ida won the battle, but Hatsume won over the support scouts.

It was finally my turn. I headed to one of the hallways and waited for my name to be announced. Mina can secrete acid from her body. I don't think she'll try to put holes in her clothes, so maybe I can strike her around her torso.

"Let's hope mini-zawa is more like her mother than Hee father so she can win this match, Izumi Aizawa from class 1A!" Mic announced as I stepped onto the arena.

"Vs. Uh, is there some kind of purpose for those things sticking out of her head? From the same class, Mina Ashido!" He continued.

I head different people from our class cheering for both of us. I smirked.

"Good luck, Mina." I nodded to her. She smiled.

"Good luck, Izumi." She nodded back. I smiled as well.

"Now, let's get started!" Mic announced.
